 Quick story. These are pretty horrific stories. So if you got if you're sensitive, I warn you. This is from this is a story that came out about this this week. I think a Barry Weiss maybe has written about this. I'm not sure I read about it in the new summary coming out of Barry Weiss's newsletter. So at least to some extent you wrote about it. This is about the whole trans phenomena and particularly when it comes to children and the idea of transitioning children, getting them on blockers and doing double vasectomies and all kind of the surgery completely changing them to flip them to the opposite sex. And what is happening in the culture in which we live, at least in parts of it, I think very small parts of it, but this has immense influence on kids because it's the it's those institutions that affect kids. There's a glamourization of the whole trans phenomena. There's a glamourization of this idea of flipping this a celebration of yay finally we can become who we really are by chopping off parts of our bodies. And it's really interesting if you look at the statistics that there were used to be trans was mostly a phenomena of men wanting to become women. And today it's primarily a phenomena of girls, young women wanting to become men. So it's but anyway, Boston Children's Hospital put out a series Boston Children's Hospital one of the premier hospitals in the country for children really. I mean Boston is healthcare capital in many respects and Boston Children's Hospital put out a series of videos, informational supposedly videos, talking about trans issues, and it really comes across as a celebration and you know, wow, wow, and all excited. I mean, it was so bad that they've actually taken down some of the videos now because of the backlash against us. And it's just it's part of this propaganda and part of this, for example, is and I watched this video, I couldn't believe the quotes actually went and watched the video. On one of these videos, this woman is saying, children know from when they are born that they don't have the right sex. And one of the signs for that is they don't want to have a haircut. Like girls want long hair boys and children. I mean, not that long ago we were told by the left, by the feminists that there are no differences between men and women. Now we're told that there are deep, unchangeable differences between men and women. That you know, so that they're so deep that people are born with these male and female characteristics, including whether they want to have a haircut or not. Now I, by the way, have never met a child who wanted a haircut. None of my kids wanted a haircut or excited about getting a haircut. I mean, you had to bribe them, you had to do all kinds of things for them to sit still so they could get a haircut. It's just bizarre. Children from where we are, from when they're born, they know that their gender is misassigned. For example, this video says, I mean, a Boston Children's Hospital video says that playing with opposite gender toys is a sign your child is probably transgender. Now this is insane. Insane. How many Tom boys, how many girls love to play with the boys and didn't want to play with dolls. My wife is one of them, right? And then grew up to be very feminine women. It's, this is true anti-science insanity, completely insanity. So, and trans has become the militant issue of the militant left in ways that are just particularly disgusting and perverse and maddening. And this has been done and inflicted ultimately on children. So, Boston Children's Hospital at some point in its defense claimed that, no, we don't operate on children. Turns out they did a 15 year olds. And as I said, nobody under 18 who is legally an adult should be allowed to transition. They should be able to make that decision as adults. This should be not be celebrated. People who have whatever psychological condition, you know, separates their biology from how they feel about themselves. This is, this is something to feel sorry for them. This is, this is disturbing. This is not good. You know, try to help them and maybe in some cases they need surgery. But it's not something to be celebrated. It's not something to be striving for. It's not something to be encouraging young people to embrace. It is insane. And as part of this, there is the story about some academics who are now claiming, it starts with a new performance of Joan of Arc, the play in London at the London Shakespeare Theatre in which Joan of Arc is portrayed as, as neither male nor female. And with, you know, she's addressed as they, them, whatever pronouns. And as trance, the Joan of Arc is trained. And why, why is Joan of Arc treated? Because she exhibits masculine features. She's strong. She's a leader. I mean, this is so insulting to women. This is so unbelievably insulting to women. And not only that, they're now going back and rewriting history and making all strong women, all strong women in history, all leaders and exhibit quote masculine traits. They must be trenching. So what the left today is claiming, which should horrify anybody who was a feminist, is a feminist, tangential to feminism, that basically what the trans movement is claiming today is the women should stay in the kitchen, should have kids, should not be ambitious, should not be strong, should not lead, should not be powerful, should, should not be any, because if they are, then they're really men. They're not really women. Whoops. Men are strong. They're leaders. They're innovative, courageous innovators. And women are not, should not, I mean, iron man. I mean, you want to tell iron man, she was not a woman. I mean, this is, this is not ironic. This is real. This is insanity. And, and there's a whole academic thing about this. So what they're really trying to do, of course, and this is the key, this is what the transgender movement is trying to do. And again, I, you know, I feel bad for people who are transgender and whatever it is, it is right, their movement, what the movement is trying to do is eviscerate femininity, masculinity. What they're trying to do is eviscerate sex. What they're trying to do is eviscerate male, female, men, women. They are fundamentally, and through and through, they're nihilists. They want to chop down all your sexual organs. They want all of you to be asexual. They want to destroy the human capacity for sex, the human capacity to identify with sex, the human enjoyment of sex. They are nihilists through and through. They want to knock and destroy and, and tear you down. And they are vicious. And, you know, this movement is vicious and anti-human, anti-human. And we're going to hear a lot more about it now. There's a huge backlash against this. I mean, the trans movement was very strong in England in the UK. There's a big backlash against it. They just shut down the big government funded hospital that was doing all this transition surgery and everything. There's a huge backlash, again, not against transgender people, but against this movement that celebrates it, that is trying to destroy sexuality. And that's what needs to be fought.
